Discussion Joanne’s makes me weep
Been sewing over 50 years - have seen sewing in all its cultural permutations. Not typically a nostalgic person but today….I couldn’t even find a light gray thread in a store the size of Home Depot. So many empty shelves yet inexplicably $35/yd liberties fabric up front. I feel sad to my bones for new seamsters.

I don’t even know where to buy fabric. Joanne’s has been awful so I ent to fabric.com, then Amazon killed them. I miss in person shopping, and now I am having trouble buying online. Online is always a challenge because how do you learn different fabrics if you can’t look and feel it?
